More likely they don't see it as a problem. If this were true, presumably they would say so.

Kaled, I believe they have mentioned it somewhere. Various others have offered technical explanations in several other threads that strictly speaking, in the narrowest sense of the word, not to put too fine a point on it, technically, Google is following established standards and it's negligent webmasters who've caused the problem. The smart thing about Yahoo is that they've been working on the assumption that not everybody building sites has a PhD in standards, protocols, and procedures. And they don't have this problem - or issue if some prefer - with www and non-www.
